Moose Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 At the risk of hijacking the thread, there are two distinct creation stories in Genesis. In Genesis 1:25-27, humans were created before the animals, and man and women were created simultaneously. In Genesis 2:18-19, the male was created first, then the animals, then the female.But maybe that's another discussion for another time and thread.That is incorrect, (IN MY EDUCATED OPINION) and relative to this thread..... Ever watch Star Wars? When the overall story is explained in writing, then the movie itself goes into more detail? Same instance here. Genesis 1 gives you the plot, Genesis 2 gives you the story....make sense? It also says in Scripture, "For this cause let no man seperate" speaking of marriage. (can't remember exactly where that is off the top of my head) So even if a person in un-equally yoked, (whether they were aware of it at the time or not), it's recommended that the believer stick with the marriage as a living testimony to his/her mate so that the unbeliever may come to Christ.

Thaddeus Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 That is incorrect, (IN MY EDUCATED OPINION) and relative to this thread.....We could go over this again but it would be detrimental to the thread, so I'm just going to leave the facts as they're stated in the two different stories of Genesis and let it go at that. For the record, I was a very fervent believer for a number of years. But I finally *saw the light*, recognized the contradictions for what they were, grasped reality with both hands and left myths behind. I don't expect to change your mind and I sincerely do respect your beliefs. I have just come to believe something different. Link to post Share on other sites
Author CM2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 You aren't responsible for her, her actions or the consequences of those actions. You can love her, pray for her, and show support if she decides to admit, repent and restore. You can give her ads to job, help her with her resume, even hook her up with interviews(if you see fit), but stop feeding catching the fish for her, give her the tools to fish on her own. Yeah, even though she's not all the way back from her stroke and has 2 boys. She has her family so I know she'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Author CM2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Granted, Mrs. Moose and I contiplated divorce during our first few years of being together. (22 years in December now) However, based on Scripture we realized this simply was NOT an option! Since then, we've grown to love each other, and more over, ACCEPT each other for who and what we are. If it had not of been for that decision, I would hate to think where or what we would be doing right now. Since then, we've helped countless couples keep their marriages intact even in cases of infidelity. Just my .02 If we stick this out it will be 4 yrs and from what I hear from other married couples is that the first 5 are the hardest. I wish she would just have the sense to come together and work through the problems. She feels I can't take care of her and her needs which is crazy cause I done this all before for her, and I always tried to be there for her. A couple times I messed up and wasn't able to be there and I can see why she's hurt though, and yes at times I was jealous because her relationships with certain people. Some of them made me kind of uncomfortable. But I'm human... Link to post Share on other sites
